Marie Scott, aged 57, was last seen at around midday on December 18 on Sandileigh Ave in Hale.

Despite extensive enquiries by officers, they have so far unfortunately been unable to find her.

Officers know she boarded a 12.30pm train at Altrincham station the same day she went missing and got off at Deansgate at 12.54pm.

From there she made her way along Deansgate to outside Blacks when she spoke to a couple at around 1.07pm, there has been a further sighting reported of Marie at the Duke Street Car Park at around 2.10pm.

Detectives have now released CCTV images of the moment Marie spoke to the couple in the hope of identifying and speaking to them.

Detective Sergeant David Jones from Stretford CID said: “I want to stress the man and the woman pictured are not in any trouble at all.

“It might be that Marie asked you for directions or you had a really general conversation – whatever it was we could really do with knowing anything that might lead us to her.

“So if this is you and you remember stopping to speak to a woman on Deansgate that day, please contact us immediately.

“It’s been nearly two weeks since Marie went missing and without her using her card or phone, we ate trawling through CCTV footage piecing together her steps.

“Her family are understandably beside themselves and it is vital that we find her.

“We know she went to Castlefield shortly after Deansgate and again, if anyone saw Marie or spoke to her then please contact us.

“Please look at the images of her we have issued and try to remember if you have seen her.”

Anyone with information about Maries whereabouts is asked to contact police on 101 quoting MP/17/0111851, reports can also be made through independent charity Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111.
